One of the first impressions that we hope
students will have of ISA is our service-oriented attitude towards study
abroad. We are here to help each student throughout the entire study
abroad process. From a student's initial contact with an ISA
representative, we hope that he or she will quickly realize how
important each individual is to us. We take each student's requests very
seriously, and we are able to be flexible in order to meet his or her
specific needs.
Our commitment to each student distinguishes
ISA among other study abroad providers. We are available to assist
students, parents, and university faculty and advisors throughout the
study abroad process, from choosing the appropriate program for your
level and interest to completing the application process and
participating successfully in the study abroad experience. In addition
to our ISA team in the U.S., ISA offers students the support of our
qualified, full-time resident directors in each of our program sites.
They are committed to maximizing each student's study abroad
experience, both academically and culturally, and are well trained to
guide our students through any situation that might arise while abroad.
ISA believes that by studying abroad,
students not only observe another culture, but they also experience the
culture by living a new way of life. Students encounter people from
all types of backgrounds with whom they are able to make a connection,
whether through similar interests, a shared laugh, or even a long bus
ride. We hope that students will gain a cultural understanding and
personal independence that can only be achieved by living and studying
in another country. Moreover, we hope that students will continue to
reap the benefits of study abroad by encouraging cultural understanding
in their own communities. We recognize that this enlightening
experience is becoming an increasingly precious asset as we encourage
America's youth to become sensitive, responsible and contributing
members of today's expanding global community.
